"The median page weight for a desktop page, as measured in October 2024 is 2,652 KB", we could fit two #Dillo releases there!

Amazing yearly report on the state of the #Web by the HTTP Archive, check it out:
Reminds me of this classic:
https://www.wired.com/2016/04/average-webpage-now-size-original-doom/
where the 2.4MB average page-weight was comparable to the size of the installer for the shareware version of Doom.
@gumnos "The web is Doomed" indeed
@Popolon RTL and CJK fonts are known to not work. Hopefully the support will improve with FLTK 1.4 which uses Pango.
Regarding SVG, yeah also a known limitation. We included builtin nanosvg, which only supports a small subset of SVG (the basic to render Wikipedia math). You can convert it to a basic SVG as a workaround (probably with Inkscape).
In the future we probably will add support for complete SVG with an optional external library.
@dillo 2 and a half megabytes for the average website is absolute insanity, and most of the time it's minified too
honestly the modern web scares me
@dillo that's like one and a quarter pokemons crystal damn
@dillo A sobering report. Wish they'd recommend fewer, smaller images and a lot less JS instead of "tree shaking". WTF, that's the web developer equivalent of New Age crap.
